In case you haven't seen the pics yet (where have you been hiding??), Britney Spears is now a brunette!

A beautiful bombshell, that is, with long silky chocolate locks!

So, how did BritBrit go from blonde to brunette?

Well, her colorist Brittany Hunter explains all the deets on how Britney turned into Brunetteney!

According to Hunter, Brit has been wanting to make the change for "about a month", adding:

"We wanted to make sure she was going to be committed to it before we made the change as it can be a difficult process going from light blonde to brunette. We started the process on Thursday and then finished it up on Sunday. We wanted to make sure the color was going to stick and it wasn't going to fade.

I wanted to keep her as close to her natural color as possible, so not too dark. In the end we went with a very natural and rich light brown. We wanted the right tone that would complement her skin color."

After it was all done, Miz Spears was apparently "very happy with the result." Hunter said:

"She was just ready for a change. Going from blonde to brunette can be difficult, and I am very particular about making sure that I get the color level just right. I wanted to look after the health of her hair at the same time.

I do think she will stick with it. She seems very happy."

Of course she's happy! Her hair looks FANtastic!

Brunette Britney brings a whole new world of sexiness and sophistication! And we're sure her new man loves it too!

Umm….first of all it's not chocolate and I have no idea why they say going from blonde to brunette is such a complicated process, it's not. It's hard going from dark to light. It most certainly doesn't take DAYS to do. There is WAAAY too much written here about Britney changing her hair color.

Re: Rockeset – EXCUSE ME? SHE'S BEEN A SEX SYMBOL SINCE FOREVER! SHE'S LIKE THE PRETTIEST WOMAN ON EARTH! SO IF SHE'S UGLY, THEN THERE'S NO PRETTY WOMAN… YOU DON'T LOVE HER, YOU'RE A HATER, YOU'RE PRESSED BECAUSE SHE LOOKS STUNNING, SHE'S BEAUTIFUL, NOT LIKE CACA OR FLOPTINA (HER FACE CHANGED TOO MUCH SINCE SHE GOT FAT, AND THAT NOSE! JESUS!) BRITNEY IS A FUCKING DOLL AND SHE LOOKS BETTER THAN SHE HAS IN YEARS! LIKE, SERIOUSLY, YOU'RE BLIND OR RETARDED… WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? I CAN'T WITH THESE PEOPLE…

People forget that she isn't really a bleached blonde in real life…when her hair grows out her roots show. This is closer to her real hair color & maybe that's why she did it to stop having to constantly dye it…ya think?

This is her from Star Search, you can see her hair wasn't light at all.

I think she looks Great , she's always looking Great! I think this new Color is something positive I really Like it! All the Negative comments on here sound so Stupid it just sounds like yall are trying to find something to complain about , Love you Britney Keeping doing what you do Best <3
